Saw some posts on FB about them. Seems pretty cheap for the amount of fab work that has to go into making them.

That's a pretty nice looking intake for the money. I assume that thing is too tall for a F-body?

I think this is the same intake that SNL Performance modified in this thread:

I'm pretty sure that's the same intake as well. FYI, that company is not associated with Texas Speed and Performance. Different TSP. We also had a customer that sent us the same brand intake that SNL dealt with that looks just like this one to install on a turnkey and it required a lot of modification! So much so that we will not work on another one.

Edit: Actually I can tell from the inside welds and the color of the fuel rails this is the same intake.

Good into Lonnie. Might keep others on here from having a major headache to deal with if they order one.

Looking great and fitting properly are two very different things.

It would be nice to see some back to back dyno pulls with different intakes. I was pretty sure that these were not from Texas Speed, but from China.

Texas Speed already said that. The company name has the same initials, TSP, but not the same company. Pretty sure Texas Speed would never want their name associated with that product. People need to read Lonnie's reply before posting. If they refuse to even install this intake because of how much "modifying" had to be done to make a simple "bolt-on" intake work, that should tell you something. People need to stop and do some research before jumping on the bandwagon.

I know you've heard it a million times on the internet, but that's not always true. See all that open air space between the runners and below the plenum? The outside looks great, the inside is simply awful. I'd like to see the results of the modified intake by SNL Performance.

I was referring as far as fabrication and appearance. Not performance. I'll stick with my fast 92 (;
